The 5th Asian Translation Traditions Conference (ATT5 - Sharjah) will be organized by and held at the American University of Sharjah (AUS), the United Arab Emirates (UAE), on 27-29 November 2012. Like the previous conferences, ATT5-Sharjah aims to explore the richness and diversity of non-Western discourses and practices of translation.

ATT5-Sharjah wishes to explore ways in which cross cultural exchange is executed and/or constrained by patronage and agency with a particular reference to the ethics and poetics of exporting and importing cultural goods through translation. Taking patronage and agency as the main theme, topics of the conference will explore the following sub-themes.
